[$MacMillan='s note from Hopkins differs slightly. He also adds from the <i>Public Advertiser</i>, 13 Nov., The last grand scene is a Representation of the whole Regatta sailing by Ranelagh. That and the Red House were invented and drawn by $Mr deLoutherberg=, and painted by Messrs $French=, $deRoy=, $Greenwood=, and others."] Rec'd stopages #11 12s. 6d. Paid Salary list #626 16s. 6d.

[Fuller descriptions of the Regatta scene appeared in the <i>Westminster Magazine</i> for Nov.: The Scene affords a picturesque view of the <i>Thames</i> on the <i>Surry</i> Side to <i>Ranelagh Gardens</i> representing the procession of barges etc., of the different squadrons, previous to their landing the company. The effect produced by this united scenery and machinery was very pleasing; every barge appeared to be rowed to the time of the band of music which is supposed to be upon the water, and evepy man and oar keeps a regular stroke: the sky, flat behind, was finely designed and executed for the general relief, and disposition of the men and boats near shore, in the foreground, was beautiful and did the painter great credit. The whole concluded with a <i>Tar</i>r 's song in character, by $Mr Bannister=, and a dance by sailors and their doxies.']
